Overview
The essence of the example is building the command as a string while properly handling combinations of single and double quotes, then executing the command with:
$(sh -c "${command}")
echo "${output}"
Example
some_header_value='blue'
some_security_sensitive_header_value='red'
mode=POST
post_body='{"color": "green", "size": 10}'
url=https://example.com/something
query_parameters="?a=1\&b=2\&c=3"
command='curl -s -H "X-SOME-HEADER: '${some_header_value}'" -H "X-SOME-SECURITY-SENSITIVE-HEADER: '${some_security_sensitive_header_value}'" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X '${mode}
if [[ ${mode} == 'POST' ]]; then
command="${command} -d '${post_body}'"
fi
command="${command} ${url}${query_parameters}"
command_with_masked_token=$(echo "${command}" | sed -e 's/X-SOME-SECURITY-SENSITIVE-HEADER: .*-H/X-SOME-SECURITY-SENSITIVE-HEADER: ***" -H/')
echo "[debug]: ${command_with_masked_token//\\/}"
output=$(sh -c "${command}") || { echo "command failed" 1>&2 2>/dev/stderr; }
echo "${output}"
